Wisdom teeth dry socket

Wisdom teeth dry socket

I had my wisdom teeth out Wednesday and on Friday I developed two dry sockets. I managed to get them packed later that day. I heard it takes two weeks for the gums to heal. Is it longer for wisdom teeth and if so how long? Also is there anything I can do for swelling other than the salt water syringe and the iburprofene "advil"?

put ice for 15 mins at a time on your face to reduce the swelling...and keep taking that advil!

could be 2 weeks...long or shorter depeneds on your body... your eating/smoking/drinking/cleaning habits...

that "hole" will be there for months...healing from the inside out.....
